| mixture | two or more substances that are NOT chemically combined |
| distillation | separate substances in a mixture based on boiling points of the components |
| magnets | separate substances in a mixture containing iron |
| centrifuge | a machine that separates mixtures by the densities of the components |
| mixtures could be made up of _ | elements, compounds or both |
| properties of mixtures | no change in properties of components |
| solution | a mixture that appears to be a singe substance |
| kinds of mixtures | solutions, suspensions & colloids |
| solution parts | solute and solvent |
| solutions particles | evenly distributed throughout the mixture; can't be filtered out; don't settle |
| solute | the substance that is dissolved |
| solvent | the substance in which the solute is dissolved |
| other ways to separate mixtures | filtering or evaporation |
| insoluble | unable to be dissolved |
| solutions & light | light passed through without being scattered |
| concentration | the amount of solute in a solvent |
| dilute | less concentrated |
| solubility | the ability of a substance to dissolve |
| solubility of solids increase with _ | stirring, shaking, heating, or crushing the solute |
| solubility of gases decrease with _ | an increase in temperature |
| suspension | a mixture in which particles are large enough to settle out |
| suspension particles | don't dissolve; can be filtered; scatter light |
| solution examples | tea, soft drinks, air, alloys |
| alloy | a mixture of metals: brass, bronze, stainless steel |
| suspension examples | paint, medicine, chocolate milk, salad dressing |
| colloid | a mixture in which particles are not heavy enough to settle |
| colloid particles | can NOT be filtered; do not dissolve; scatter light |
| colloid examples | gelatin, jelly, fog, mayonnaise |
